Ravens Need Dixon Healthy to Enhance Offense
The 22-year-old was the Ravens' fourth-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft. Coming into the 2016 campaign, he had a legitimate shot at earning major playing time, with Justin Forsett struggling with injuries in 2015 and Javorius Allen showing limited upside.
Dixon has the skill set to contribute as a receiver out of the backfield, a valuable trait in a Trestman offense. His quickness and agility mean he projects to have big-play ability, and he could be a three-down back if he is able to ascend to the starting role in Baltimore.
